It was a battle between the Pacifics as Gen.G would have to fight Paper Rex (PRX) for a playoff spot and both teams wanted to ignite a winning streak that would lead them into the playoffs with some confidence.
Gen.G had the first map pick in Ascent, and they would start on the attacking side, while PRX would be on the defence.
Gen.G would start the match with some confidence as they would go on a 7-round-win streak before PRX woke up and took three rounds.
Gen.G would get one round after that, but PRX would be able to gain the final round before the switch making the score at halftime be 8-4 in Gen.G’s favour.
PRX would look for a comeback when switching to the attackers' side and would try to tie the match up.
At the start of the second half, Gen.G would take the first two rounds in an efficient style with enough econ to allow them to beat PRX.
Although unknown to Gen.G was that PRX was saving and would start to fully buy their utility and guns, which made their pushes onto the site effective, as they would win engagements against a lower econ Gen.G.
Even though they would have a high econ and great weapons, it wasn’t enough for PRX to get the win leading to Gen.G to take the first map with a score of 13-11.
Map MVP would be T3xture with 27 Kills, 19 Deaths and 2 Assists.
Paper Rex would look to regroup as they wanted to find a way to extend their Swiss stage journey, as they would enter their map pick, Icebox.
PRX would try and get a comeback win, but Gen.G had different plans as they would end up winning map two in a dominating manner with a score of 13-3.
Gen.G would win the battle between the Pacific teams and move on to the playoff stage.
Paper Rex is now in elimination territory where one win keeps them in or one loss eliminates them.
Match MVP is T3xture with a total of 45 Kills, 25 Deaths and 3 Assists.
